How to use this guide ​

Use this guide for one of three outcomes:

  • Eligibility: be ready to start (or continue) work by keeping supplier assurance current.
  • Assurance: know which evidence artifacts exist and how they are reviewed and refreshed.
  • Audit readiness: produce a point-in-time package for an assessment or internal review.

How to think about supplier requirements ​

Supplier requirements are usually assessed through:

  • documented policies and procedures
  • third‑party audit reports and attestations
  • evidence of operational controls (access, logging, incident handling)
  • review cadence (renewals, recertifications, reassessments)

The compliance cycle (operational model) ​

Supplier assurance works when it is treated as a loop: collect evidence, review it, refresh it, and export it when needed.
